Also for this type of relaxation can adopt the stance of classical yogi, given that this position will allow us to the circuit of energy that connects us with the focus of land at the bottom, thus avoiding their influences, somehow, and if not we realize, are acting on us. In this exercise relaxation must be concentrated within us and for that we should not do anything. It is during this exercise to think about nothing: projects, problems, concerns, feelings, etc.. This is feeling a sense of being and nothing else, this way we learn to be aware of ourselves, our own being, without body, without needs, without worries.
